tricts Of Maryland, near the city Of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences Of the impure air
and water Of that region.
Being naturally Of a strong consti-
tuition, ! had frequently boosted that
no chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con-
dition in which l found myself six
months ago. I first noticed that I did
not feel SO sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. I felt tired and
enevated. Soon noticed distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity il the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearances. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feel heavy
and / began to have headaches. 90 +
The cold stage was marked with chat
tering Of the teeth, severe rigors passed
over me, and no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
I seemed to be burning up, the con-
gestion in my head produced violent
pain in the frontal portion and heat
ed sensation Of the eyelids, with an In
describable aching Of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the pmox-
ysms passed off l was thoroughly pros
trated by a weakness that was felt In
every part Of me. ~

obtained some relief. But my respite
was Of brief duration. / was now Sc

or stand upright. My disease soor
eliminated in a continued malarial f.
yer which kept me closely confined fol
about week. Ibecame exceedingly
depressed and melancholy, so much SC
that 1 lost interest in my work, and
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be Tin
derStood that I did not neglect medica
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar
senate Of potash, valeriante Of iron
mercury, bromide Of potassium, chic
ride Of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni
dia, quinine and several others. Al

physicians. ,a.
